To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, JOHN. G. HAnvEv, citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county ofQCook and State 'of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Stoves, of which the following is a specification, refer- GAS-STOVE.

ence being 'hadtherein to the accompanyingv drawing. v

This invention relates to mprovements in 'gas stoves, and is of that type in which there r are open burners combined with baking and broiling ovens. The object of the present invention is to so locate and arrange the ovens in respect to;

the top and open burners, as to obviate certain objections to this type of stove as heretofore constructed, and toat the same time have one end'of the top provide a warming shelf below and separated from the ovens, all of which will be fully set forth hereinafter.

Inthe accompanying draWingsFigure l is aperspective view of a gas stove which embodies the present invention. Fig. 251s,

an end view, partly in section throughthe Fig. 3 is a horizontalsec- 'tion on the line 33 of Fig. 4.-. Fig. 4 is-a longitudinal vertical section on the, line HofFigl.

In carrying out the present invention,"a main horizontal frame 1 is provided, and this frame has suit-able supporting legs 2.

The top 3 isprovided at one end-with an opening l, below which the desired number 0 open burners a are placed, and these burners are controlled by-the valves 5, and.

the usual grating 6 is 4:. The opposite end tutes a warming shelf for the explained hereinafter.

. A back 8 is located at the glaced in the opening rear edge of the top 3 and extends upward therefrom the purpose to be w compartment 12 of such size as to enable the.

of this top consti-q usual distance, and is here shown with the,

usual shelf 9 at its top.

Particular attention is directed to the location of the baking oven 10' and broiling oven 11, in that they are located above but apart from the warming shelf 7 of the'top 3. a

sils placed thereon, and" also warmingth? haps by its excessive heat cracking or breaking dishes placed thereoiL: 'By means of this deflector plate 18 the'jheat from. the; small burner is evenly difi'used under the;

from the edge of the op, illis wall di f apron, together with the inner end ofathe burner box 21 p b r ehrs? vides a pocket below the warmingjshe which the heat from'the 's'malliburiie the warming shelf; Furthermore, thefboni partment 12 above the warmingshelf'p'ockw- -ets and retains :the gentle heat radiating rom the shelf, and also the hattl'atera' y Padlatmg from Dpen burnersflh is mg to assist in uniformly iwarmingm wer . Attention is especially directed to'the'factthat the broiling oven 11 is preferably below the top of the back 8,-and this makesthe gentle heat to keep the air therein substantially at a uniform temperature So far as known gas stoves having open burners combined with baking and broiling burners, and have the bottom ofthe lowest oven-substantially in the horizontal plane of the top of the back 8. This construction has two objectionable features: (a) It is dangerous, by reason of the liability of the ciently high to get the ovens:-

fiameiand heat from the open burners setting fire to the sl'eeveof the cook when using the ovens above the burners, and (b) to avoid ferred to in respect to the first type, but it lao ' occupies more horizontal space, and places theburners for the ovens so low that the operator must stoop to examine them for adjustment: of the flame, and to determine whether the burners are properly operating.

Third: That type in which the ovens are placed in a vertical plane below the open burners. This type also avoids the dangerous feature of the first type, but it places both ovens and fiameso low that the cook muststoop for all cooking operations in connection with the ovens, or the burners.

By the novel arrangement here shown and described, all of'these objections are cured, and at the same time a warming shelf is provided upon which dishes and utensils may be warmed, and it supplies awant recognized for years, and for years sought after by the public and manufacturers. By this arrangement the open burners and the ovens can be simultaneously used without the danger mentioned; the ovens and the open burners are at convenient heights;

dishes and food can be kept warm by the warming shelf within the space '12; the

ovens provide a cover protection for the Witnesses burner openings and burners thereunder and the other end portion forming a warming shelf, of an oven above and near the warming shelf, the inner end of the oven beginning substantially ina line above the inner' top having one end portion provided with burner openings and burners thereunder,and

the other end portion forming a warming shelf, of an oven above and near the warm- -ing shelf for the purpose described, the

inner end of the oven beginning substantially in a line .above the inner end of the warming shelf and extending outward above the warming shelf, a transversely arranged vertical end wall at the outer end of the warming shelf and connecting it with the bottom of the oven, and means for warming the shelf, whereby the space between the oven and the warming shelf may be warmed by heat radiation from the burners and access may be had to the oven without danger from said burners.

3. A gas stove comprising a top having an opening for burners, atop extension at the end of the opening, an ovenin a vertical line above the extension to form a heat radiating space and a cover protection above the extension, a burner below the extension, and'a flame and heat deflector between the burner and the said extension for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I ailix my s1gnature I in presence of two witnesses.
